5th Community Festival-Conservation of the Encino Arroyero

Join a special celebration of nature, community, and conservation at the 5th Community Festival dedicated to the protection of the Encino Arroyero (Quercus brandegeei), a unique oak species of Baja California Sur.
On Wednesday, November 25, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, the festival will take place in front of the Casa de Cultura Miraflores. This itinerant event marks five years of connecting communities along the region’s arroyos under the motto “De Arroyo en Arroyo” (From Stream to Stream), with the shared goal of saving the Encino Arroyero.
Visitors can enjoy a full morning of activities including workshops, contests with prizes, educational talks, exhibition stands, surprises, local food, music, and dancing. The festival offers a family-friendly atmosphere that combines environmental awareness with community celebration, inviting everyone to learn about the importance of this native tree and the ecosystems it supports.
Organized in collaboration with international and local partners such as Botanic Gardens Conservation International, Franklinia, CIBNOR, The Morton Arboretum, The Champion of Trees, and the Ayuntamiento de Los Cabos, the event highlights collective efforts to protect Baja California Sur’s natural heritage.
